Announcing New Firmware Version 3.0 for all Datalogic CE Devices

Datalogic Mobile is announcing a major new firmware release for all our Windows CE mobile computers: version 3.0. This new firmware is now shipping on all Datalogic Mobile CE devices as of September 1, 2008.

Datalogic CE Devices with new firmware version 3.0 include

• Memor
• Skorpio and Skorpio Gun
• JET
• Pegaso
• Falcon 4400 Series
• Kyman and Kyman Gun
• Rhino-NET

New Features

V3.0 firmware has some exciting upgrades to further differentiate Datalogics product range from the competition. It also includes some improvements to the look and feel and to ensure all Datalogic devices are more consistent across our range.

Major new features of v3.0 include

• Wavelink Avalanche Enablers are included free of charge and are pre-loaded and pre-licensed on every new device manufactured after September 1, 2008 (embedded in the v3.0 image).

• The following Windows CE, firmware v3.0 devices now have Wavelink Terminal Emulation pre-licensed and pre-loaded before shipment (all WiFi/RF models): Skorpio Gun, Falcon 4400 Series (both Handheld and Gun), Kyman (both Handheld and Gun), and Rhino-Net.

• All v3.0 RF devices have Wavelink Terminal Emulation pre-loaded (will run in demo mode for those devices not pre-licensed as listed above).

• Wavelink’s “Scan to Configure” is included in the v3 image, providing the ability for a user to configure a device within seconds of removing it from the box.

• DDU (Datalogic Desktop Utility), formerly known as Falcon Desktop Utility (FDU) has been updated to replace Application Manager and Locked Web Browser functionality and is integrated into all v3.0 devices. DDU allows on-device configuration and lockdown.

• DCU (Datalogic Configuration Utility), formerly known as Local Configurator (also replaces Falcon Management Utility). This utility allows the user to configure the hardware specific parameters and Datalogic application parameters.

• DFU (Datalogic Firmware Utility), formerly known as Falcon Update Utility (FUU). DFU is now used on all Datalogic devices to update firmware (post v3.0).

• All Datalogic Mobile CE terminals now share a common desktop for “common look & feel”, and a consistent Start menu.

• USB VID (Vendor Identification) is now included on all Datalogic devices so our users no longer have to load a USB driver before using ActiveSynch.

• Scanner is now turned on by default (in wedge mode) on all devices.

• New Summit Radio client (V2.1) is integrated into the firmware with the following major new features:

• CCX v4 support
• Worldwide Mode improvements (Auto adjusts for FCC and ETSI)

Upgrades

Upgrades are available on our website at no charge, but without Wavelink included (available at additional cost for legacy devices). See www.mobile.datalogic.com
